Earth King laughed: "You are different from me. I am the object that the gods want to test, but you are not. So the gods must be strict with me. If I have done something wrong to the gods, I will not end well. You are just My assistant, there is no reason for the gods to keep you from coming back." His is also very unexpected.I said, "It's not like the three assistants didn't come back." The king of earth didn't say anything, just spread his hands.His meaning is obvious: If he is in danger at that time, I really have no way to help him, so I can take care of myself.

Although I'm not sure if I will ignore him when the time comes, but if I say it first, it's good to be a villain first and then a gentleman. I asked another question: "Isn't it okay to go to the vicinity of that cave to investigate first?" Tu Wang said: "It's not that it's impossible, but it's not necessary—that place is the same as countless other hills, nothing special." I looked at him, and he said, "I've been around that cave, and I've checked it countless times. It's my life and death. Please believe me, I've done everything I can and should do."

I raised my eyebrows, but before I made a sound, Bai Su had already spoken—what she said was exactly the same as what I wanted to say: "If you ask different people to do the same thing, there will be different results." I laughed: "That's right—anyway, there are still seven days. Instead of being bored in the palace, let's go around." Earth King thought for a while, then nodded: "However, you must come back the day before departure—the departure ceremony is very grand, at least tens of thousands of people will participate, and you and I will be the protagonists at that time, so we must appear on the stage. "

I have no opinion: "Please prepare the transportation." Earth King nodded: "I can also give you your self-defense weapon first—following the traditional rules, both you and I can choose one thing in the treasure house; as a weapon for self-defense." I was so curious that I asked, "Treasure house, what treasure house?" The earth king took a breath, his expression became very serious, and he said slowly: "That is where the treasures handed down from generation to generation are kept, and only two people know how to open them, one is me, and the other is the highest-ranking patriarch. "

He spoke very solemnly, I was a little suspicious, and just about to raise it, he already said: "I can bring two people in—this is the privilege of the earth king, given by the gods, and I am the only one who can go in by myself. You can also bring people in." From his expression and tone, it can be seen that being able to enter that treasure house is a very rare thing. I am very interested in this matter--any treasure house of this type often has unexpected treasures in it. It is very interesting to visit and open your eyes.Most of these chambers are extremely secret, and there are very few opportunities for outsiders to enter. Now that the earth king is willing to let me and Bai Su enter, it is a rare opportunity.

So I said: "Excellent, please lead the way." The King of Earth raised his wrist, as if to look at his watch, but he spoke to something slightly larger than an ordinary watch on his wrist: "Get ready for the car." That thing was clearly a miniature communicator—it wasn't that he didn't know how to use modern technology, it was just that when things were related to his religion, he had to give up science for religion. Then we went out the same way, and when we got outside the building, there were already cars waiting.After getting in the car, the car didn't drive out of the range of the palace. After driving for about 20 minutes, it arrived at a corner of the palace.

It was a large square, about the size of two football fields. In the center, there was a cube made of granite, about five meters on each side. There were no doors or windows. It looked like a square. A stone platform. Around the square are tall fences and taller watchtowers on which sentries stand.Tu Wang introduced: "It is a supreme honor to be able to serve as a guard here." At this time, I also knew that the big stone platform must be the entrance to the treasure house, and it was indeed very clever to put the entrance in the middle of the square, because unless it was an invisible person, if he tried to pass through the square, he would definitely be discovered.

Bai Su asked: "How long has this treasure house existed?" The earth king immediately understood what she meant: "For a long time, it is said that this treasure house was built by the gods, so that we can pass it on from generation to generation. Of course it is not like this. I built the square and the stone platform - I chose to be here Building a palace is to include the treasure house within the scope of the palace, which is more conducive to defense." Bai Su nodded in agreement and looked at me with a smile on his lips. Although she didn't make a sound, I certainly knew what she was talking about.

Bai Su is saying that my theory has always been: all gods are aliens.So if this treasure house was "established by the gods", then that is to say, it was established by aliens. Of course, "established by the gods" is just a legend, which may have been lost due to its long history, but if it was really established by aliens, some proof can be found in it. Although in my experience, I have discovered the things left by aliens on the earth many times, and I have dealt with many different kinds of aliens, but each time I have different fresh feelings, So if we can also discover what aliens have done on earth this time, it would be a big gain.

The process of entering the treasure house is very complicated, so I will describe it briefly—it is very verbose to express this kind of process in words, and it is not as direct as expressing it in images. After the earth king's sound waves, hand lines, and eye lines were checked, a ladder was raised from under the stone platform. We climbed up the ladder and reached the top of the stone platform. It seemed that it was just a flat area, and we didn't know where the entrance was. At this time, I suddenly remembered, Qi Bai's request to the earth king, I wonder if he asked to come to this treasure house?

I saw the earth king walking back and forth on the top of the stone platform. The granite on the stone platform has been carefully polished and is extremely smooth. I know that there must be a lot of organs in it, so I won't bother him for the time being. He walked at least seventy or eighty steps before stopping, and naturally heaved a sigh of relief.It can be seen from this that when he was walking around just now, he was very nervous. His pressing action was so unimaginable that Bai Su and I were dumbfounded.He actually raised his feet, took off all the shoes and socks on his feet, and stood barefoot on the stone platform. After he finished these, we naturally know that to enter the treasure house, we need to check the palm prints of people!The tightness of this defense is really breathtaking——except here, I really can't think of any place where the palm prints are used to open it. Seeing the earth king standing up straight with his shoes and socks in his hands, his appearance was very funny, and he no longer had the prestige of being an earth king. I held back my laughter, and said casually: "This place is so heavily guarded, Qi Bai wants to come in, of course he has to ask you to agree, otherwise, even if he can freely enter and exit all the ancient tombs on the earth, he will not be able to enter here." When the king of earth heard this, he was startled for a moment, which made me think I had expected it, but then the king of earth burst out laughing, saying: "You misunderstood, this bastard didn't ask to enter the treasure house." I was so embarrassed that I didn't know what to say for a while. The King of Earth smiled again: "You still have a bigger misunderstanding. There is no special treasure in the treasure house. The reason why it is called the treasure house is mainly because of beliefs, and it is symbolic. It also represents the treasure house. The authority of the king——if it is invaded by others, it represents a great insult to the earth king, so I must use the strictest defense method." The earth king may not have meant to make fun of me, but I really don't feel like it.Fortunately, there was a change on the top of the stone platform at this time. The piece of granite on which Tuwang was standing sank slowly, and he quickly waved to us, asking us to stand on that piece of granite. When Bai Su and I stood up, the stone had already sunk by about half a meter. The stone sank about three meters and then stopped.There was a narrow rain road in front of them. The three of them had to file forward and walked about ten steps. When they reached the end, they sank again. After sinking about three meters, they saw a space. The space is not very big, like an ordinary cellar, the upper and lower sides are also made of granite, with a faint light. Looking around, I saw a lot of things in a mess, most of which seemed to be tools and weapons used by the natives, very primitive, and some even had a sharpened stone tied to a branch. In addition, there are some of the most crude utensils, such as earthen jars, stone mortars and so on. I couldn't help laughing: "What kind of treasure house is this? We are going to find weapons here to meet the unfathomable test?" The king of earth lowered his face, "Every item here, even if it is not left by the gods, has been blessed by the gods, you must not insult them!" Fortunately, the earth king has already said that this treasure house is symbolic, mainly because of religious significance, otherwise I would have to continue to make fun of it. Bai Su's attitude is different from mine, she inspects everything carefully and carefully. When she opened a rather large basket made of rattan, even the earth king couldn't help showing a look of surprise; he asked, "Does Madam Wei feel that there is something special about the things here?" Bai Su replied: "I feel that the things here should be very special, but until now, I haven't found anything." As she spoke, she took out something from the basket. That thing looked like a big hammer—it had a handle about 50 centimeters long, and at one end was a rectangular object, the size of two fists. It was clearly a primitive tool. Bai Su held that thing and looked at me, I was annoyed: "You think I use this thing as a weapon?" Bai Su smiled: "Come here." As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to hand the thing into my hands. At this time, the earth king seemed to want to say something, but he gave me a strange look, and held back his silence. This situation made me realize that there might be something weird about this thing.I smiled and said, "What is this?" Bai Su shook his head: "I can't tell, I was just about to ask for advice." When she said this, I was more sure that there was something unusual about this thing. It might look heavy. If I was not careful, I would fail to catch it and fall to the ground, so I walked forward and took a deep breath. . As soon as Bai Su waited for me to walk in front of her, she immediately handed the thing to me.I was prepared and took it with both hands. What I prepared was that the thing would be very heavy, so when I picked it up, I mustered all my strength.Who knew that once this thing was used, it didn't weigh at all!Not to mention that it looks like it's made of iron, even if it's made of paper, it shouldn't be so light! The strength I had prepared was lost all of a sudden, and I leaned back, almost unable to stand still.At this time, the earth king laughed loudly: "Unexpectedly, the saying here is that this thing is the weirdest. I have weighed it before. How much do you think it weighs?" I have already seen from the expression of the earth king that he knows that this thing is weird, so it is not surprising that he has such a reaction when he sees me in a panic. Before I answered, he couldn't wait to say it himself: "It's only a tenth of a gram!" Of course, one tenth of a gram cannot be regarded as completely weightless, but when placed in the hand, this weight is not felt at all.So it's like the thing has no weight at all. At this time, I had recovered my senses, picked up the east side and took a closer look. After looking around, I didn’t know what it was. I tapped it with my fingers, and the sound was like tapping on an iron block—it Obviously solid. I was so puzzled, I looked at Bai Su first, and Bai Su shook his head immediately.I looked at the earth king again, and said to the king, "I have brought several learned and talented people to see it, but they don't know what it is. I think it must be left by the gods." He said here, and then Weird looked at me and said with a smile, "According to your theory, it must belong to aliens again." When he said that, it was a little teasing.But I was very serious: "It must not be something on the earth—since it doesn't belong to the earth, it must belong to aliens. What a joke!" The king of earth stopped laughing at me, and asked seriously: "If it is really something from the gods, what is the use of it?" I was annoyed: "Why do you ask me, this thing is so weird, haven't you studied it carefully?". The earth king shook his head: "The items in the treasury cannot be taken away. Only when you are tested, you can choose any one as a weapon." I swung the thing around a few times, and it felt weird because it had no weight at all.I swung the thing towards the stone wall again, with great force, the earth king let out a cry of surprise, of course he was afraid of damaging the things in the treasure house. There was an object the size of two fists at one end of the thing, and it hit the stone wall. For such a light thing, it should be light and effortless.But when it hit it, it actually made a sound, and it has rebound force, so it can indeed be regarded as a tool. The king of earth was relieved to see that the thing was not damaged at all. I immediately made a decision: "I want this thing as a weapon!" I was also afraid that the earth king would not agree, so my tone was very firm.The Earth King didn't even think about it, and said, "Great! If you can research what this is, it would be a good thing, and it would solve the doubts in my mind." It seems that the earth king is also interested in this thing, but he has always followed the rules and did not take it out for research. The earth king himself chose a short knife, and immediately put the short knife on his waist.The thing in my hand was very big, and there was nowhere to put it, so I had to hold it in my hand. Thinking that I would hold it in my hand for at least seven or eight days, I couldn't help but feel funny. Since there is such a strange thing in the treasure house, there may be other things, so Bai Su and I inspected the other things carefully.Although the earth king repeatedly said that only this one is special, he did not stop us. After searching for about an hour, I even shook out a few pieces of rags to look at it. I took the thing and knocked up and down the stone wall to see if there was a secret door, but I didn't find it. The king of earth has been very patient, but he didn't do it himself. Obviously, he has studied this treasure house in detail, and he just wants to see if we can make new discoveries. When we got nothing, the earth king said: "It seems that the gods only left us one thing." He actually affirmed that the thing was "left by the gods". Later, Bai Su laughed at him as "Wesley is more Wesley than Wesley". That was flattering him, thinking that he would agree to my request. In fact, he has a lot of assumptions, which are all in line with my appetite and in sync with my vision, so I must ask him to be an assistant!" This was a conversation after the fact. I heard him say that at the time. Although I was a little surprised, I also agreed with it. This is naturally the reason why the two people's ideas are in harmony. Because I found this strange thing in the treasure house, my plan has changed.Originally, I planned to go to the vicinity of the cave to investigate, but now I believed the earth king's statement that he had done this work and found nothing, so I decided to study this weird light thing first. After leaving the treasure house, I had a heated argument with the earth king.I want to take that strange thing away and find a well-equipped research institute to study what it is.But Wang Wang firmly forbids me to take it out of the country, and only allows me to study it within his country. I even uttered evil words: "In a backward area like yours, in a barren land, what kind of tricks can you research?" The earth king was unmoved: "Whatever you want to say. The items in the treasure house must never leave the border." No matter what I say, he still refuses, and in his country, there is really no way to do research other than visual observation. So in the next two days, Bai Su and I looked at that strange thing over and over again, and made various assumptions.But there is only one thing for sure: no such light and strong substance has been found on the earth—if such a substance can be widely used in large quantities, the entire industrial civilization will have to be rewritten. Just think about it, if such substances are used to make cars, airplanes, etc., what kind of situation will it be? I am going to invite the Yun brothers who have a huge industrial system in Europe to come, and they can also bring some equipment for inspection. But as soon as he brought it up, Tu Wang immediately objected: "According to the rules, only you can see and touch this thing, not even Mrs. Wei. Please don't mention such a thing to anyone!" I said angrily: "The mouth grows on me, I can say whatever I like, don't say it's you, even your god can't stop me!" The earth king's face changed drastically, he turned around suddenly, and walked out.At this time we were in the room he arranged for us, and I sneered behind him twice before he walked out.He slammed the door shut and I walked over to the phone.In the house, the equipment is extremely complete, everything you need, I still want to call to France to find the Yun brothers. Bai Su sighed: "No need - even if you get through the phone call, if the earth king doesn't allow people to enter, who can come in?" I said: "Okay, let's break it up and ask him to hire someone else!" Bai Su shook his head: "Don't say that you have promised him with all your teeth, even if you try your best to break your promise, he will certainly have nothing to do with you. But in the treasure house, there has been such a discovery, in that cave , I don’t know how many weird things there will be. I’m afraid I’m deceiving myself and others!” What Bai Su said made me speechless──while I was studying that strange thing, I had already thought of what Bai Su said.Because since this strange thing cannot be matter on the earth, it is natural that it has something to do with aliens. Here, if the matter has something to do with aliens, I believe that the aliens have a lot to do with the gods mentioned by the king of earth. Therefore, in the cave designated by the god to conduct the test, there may be more items left by the god (alien) or proof that he has appeared. I really can't wait to go to that cave, if the earth king doesn't let me go, my curiosity will make me very painful. Bai Su looked at me and smiled: "It depends on how you deal with it. If you tell you to turn around and ask the earth king, you will definitely refuse." I didn't even think about it: "Of course!" Bai Su looked at me with a grin, as if to see what I should do.We looked at each other for a while, suddenly laughed together, and said in unison: "He will come back!" I added: "Sooner or later he comes back is inversely proportional to his size." Bai Su nodded in agreement, at this moment, the door was slowly pushed open, and Bai Su and I couldn't help laughing out loud.The earth king pushed the door open, stared at us, and said loudly, "It's not funny at all!" He came back so soon, which shows that he has a lot of stamina—it is a very pleasant thing to deal with people with great stamina, so Bai Su and I laughed because we were really happy.Immediately I said to him: "I'm sorry, I was the one who said nothing just now." I apologized to him, he seemed a little flattered, and said again and again: "Forget it, forget it, I'm not angry, I'm just afraid of offending the gods." I shrugged and accepted his explanation.Bai Su asked: "When you pass the test, will there be a celebration ceremony?" Tu Wang was so excited that in a moment, his face flushed and he said loudly: "Of course! That is the grandest celebration." After he said that, he waved his hands as if he was giving a speech. Seeing this situation, I couldn't help but sighed. Earth King put one hand on his hip and pointed at me with the other: "What do you want to say?" I shook my head: "If you don't like it, don't say it!" The earth king said: "As long as you don't offend the gods, it doesn't matter to listen to it." I still shook my head: "The standards are different. I don't think I offended you, but you think I did. It's better not to say anything." The more I didn't say anything, the more he wanted to hear it. Afterwards, I had no choice but to say: "You are so excited when you think of passing the test." I thought it was talking to Xia Chong again this time, so what I said was useless. Unexpectedly, although the words were for nothing, the earth king's reaction was quite different.After he listened.Xiao forced: "I understand what you mean." I was very surprised and couldn't help applauding: "You can understand, it's amazing!"
